Hi, gang, I am new to this thread but I am tired of storing my bikes for riding inside my Model X... and the Hybrid ICE SUV that I use to haul bikes around with a strap to the back bike carrier is in the shop and probably on its last legs... so I finally went out and installed the Bonsil hitch that came with my car and found an inexpensive Avenn two bike hitch mount that has most of the things I need... a two arm hanging mount, two bike capacity, and a swing down option to get into the back trunk.

However, one of the drawbacks that most have not mentioned is that while backing up, the proximity alarm goes wild and alarms constantly. Do I need to put the car in trailer mode while backing up, or is there another way to turn off the alarm? I did not see this mentioned in any of the posts!
Reminder to self! With a bike in the back, do not release the trunk until the bike is off the rack and the bike rack has been tilted!

You can disable the backup sensor, it's on one of the menus. I would have spent the extra money and bought a better rack. I'd gamble that you're going to open your trunk into the rack unintentionally, or, somebody else will. I've had the trunk open from the keyfob being pressed in my pants.
